Nash Ensemble

The Nash Ensemble, resident chamber ensemble at Wigmore Hall since 2010, is acclaimed for its adventurous programming and virtuoso performances. It presents works from Haydn to the avant-garde, and is a major contributor towards the recognition and promotion of contemporary composers. The ensemble has premièred over 300 new works, of which the majority have been especially commissioned. An impressive collection of recordings illustrates the same varied and colourful combination of classical masterpieces, little-known neglected gems and important contemporary works.

International appearances have included concerts in Europe and the USA, and the ensemble broadcasts regularly for the BBC, including Radio 3 and appearances at the BBC Proms. The Nash Ensemble has won numerous accolades including the Edinburgh Festival Critics award ‘for general artistic excellence’ and two Royal Philharmonic Society awards in the chamber music category ‘for the breadth of its taste and its immaculate performance of a wide range of music’.
